I find it fascinating how some of these 'free' projects attempt to
monetize[1] themselves.
Linux Mint does it too, and one of the forms is changing Firefox's
default search engines to ones that pay for searches. It is possible
to change this to Google, but you are exposed to a little bit of guilt
for daring to use Google instead of somebody else.
